Underwhelming and under attended when compared to last years. As I feel I've said a million times thankfully Sage got shit going and it more or less continued to snowball from there. Nas/AZ, Common and Roots goes without saying.

They did a terrible job of planning set times and who was on what stage this year. Sage, RZA and Raekwon on the side stage? I guess you could make a case for Sage, but RZA and Rae? Really? Not only that, they ran concurrently with the Roots and Common. Shit was also ~$20 more expensive.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely had a great time and shit was real enjoyable but it may end up being the last year I go if the lineup doesn't get any better and prices stay the same or continue to go way up.

Heh, just realized it kinda looks like I pissed on your parade, certainly wasn't my intention, it's still a blast, just compared with how it was in the past shit went downhill fast.

where did you go? it is true that the second stage had big names this year, overlapping good shows on the main stage. boston's lineup was pretty stacked on both stages though. MOP and slaughterhouse were both on the second stage too. everybody had shit bumpin in boston though. if anything it had higher attendance than last year. Big Boi KILLED it, too. i felt like last year i only went to the small stage twice, whereas this year we were trying to juggle seeing both sets all day.

Last year was all main stage for me, didn't have to move.

I went to the "DC" show.
